We have been busy at the Indiana Health Information Exchange! Take a look at some highlights and accomplishments from the past year.
In 2017, IHIE exchanged 7 million transactions with other HIEs in Indiana and in neighboring states, realizing an increase of 50% from the previous year.
The INPC continues to grow every month. In August 2017 it connected 117 hospitals; 14,592 practices; and more than 42,215 providers. The INPC also securely holds more than 11,610,526,637 clinical data elements for more than 14,219,284 patients.
IHIE was ranked #71 in Modern Healthcare’s BEST PLACES TO WORK in 2017, and was included in the 2018 listings released in May. A ranked listing for 2018 will be available in September. We’re proud to be on the list for four years running!
